Description

Donut and churros doser for frying.

Technical sector

The invention is intended for the hospitality industry, patisseries, bakeries, in general for the food industry. State of the art

We know a machine for making donuts in continuous process according to patent P9501772, in which the dough is made through a complex device of superimposed hoppers and where the final product is deposited on a conveyor belt and then treated. The object of our invention is to simplify this manufacturing process to reduce the time and costs in production by incorporating into the machine a continuous ejection device by means of rollers with an automatic cutting device at the exit of the product, depositing this directly on the fryer Explanation of the invention.

The present invention consists of a donut and churros dosing machine for frying that is characterized by using a continuous mass ejection device with built-in automatic cutter. The processed dough passes directly from the hopper to the dosing rollers that refine it and expel directly to the automatic cutting device located at the bottom of the same facilitating the final elaboration of the product, this falls directly on the fryer for frying. The donut and churros doser for frying has two electronic devices, one regulates the speed of dough ejection, and another regulates the speed of dough cutting according to the needs of the user. The machine has a removable mold holder to exchange different types of mold depending on the product we want to make, donuts or churros. Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of this report, we make a brief description of the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows the side view of the machine where you can see the main housing, on the left side the support of the machine and on the right side the hopper, the ejector rollers and the cutting mechanism located in the part bottom of the hopper.

Figure 2 shows a front view of the machine where we can see the hopper, the cutter protection, the closing handles of the hopper, as well as the ejector rollers located inside the hopper.

Figure 3 shows the rear view of the machine where we can see the control panel in the upper part of the main housing and in the lower part the protection of the cutter, the cutter and the base support. Description of the drawings

In the side view of the machine, Figure 1, we observe that the base support (1) is located on the left side and on the bottom of the base plate (2). In the upper part of the base plate is the main housing (3) and inside it is the main motor (4) that transmits the rotation to the dosing rollers (10) by means of a gear mechanism and the motor cutter (16) that transmits the turn to the dough cutter (12) located at the bottom of the base. In the upper part of the main housing (3) we can see the hinge that opens the lid of the hopper (5) and the detector (6) that indicates the presence of the hopper (8), located on the right side of the main housing Inside the hopper (8) are the ejector rollers (10) and on the outside it has 2 handles (9) that serve to turn the machine and orient the output of the product to the fry pan. The mold holder (11) is located in the lower part of the hopper and the mass outlet mold (13) is attached inside. At the bottom of the base plate (2) is the automatic cutting device (14), the cutter (12) and the cutter protection (15).

In the front view of the machine Figure 2, we can see the hopper (8), on each side of it we find two closing handles (17), two extractor knobs of the hopper (18) and two handles (9) that also to hold the hopper we can turn the machine and orient the output of the dough to the bowl of the fryer. We can also see the two ejector rollers (10) located inside the hopper and cutter protection (15).

In the rear view of the machine Figure (3), we can see the control knobs located on the top of the main housing (3), the gear-cut switch and rollers (19), the cutter speed regulator ( 20), the roller speed regulator (21) and the gear-stop switch (22). Also in the lower part of this figure is the protection of the cutter (15), the cutter (12) and the base support (1). Embodiment of the invention

Once the dough has been prepared for the realization of the batons, donuts or churros, we introduce the dough exit mold (13) into the mold holder (11) and place it in the bottom of the hopper to proceed as follows:

We lift the hopper lid (7) and pour the dough directly inside the hopper (8), close the hopper and grabbing the handle of the hopper (9) turn the machine by placing the dough outlet on top of the tank of the fryer. We start the ejector rollers by pressing the roller gear switch (22), then press the cutter gear switch (19) and then adjust the speed of the rollers with the regulator (21) and on the other hand we adjust the speed of the cutter with the regulator (20), depending on the amount of product we want to make.

When the fry pan is almost covered with the product, we stop the cutter and the rollers by pressing the switch (19) and remove the machine by turning it with the help of the hopper handle (9) and then remove the fry from the fryer.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement The request object of report describes a dough dosing machine, for churros and donuts, integrated by a feeder hopper with metering / ejector rollers and an automatic cutting device, located at the bottom. The machine has electronic devices, which regulate the expulsion and cutting speed of the dough, as well as a removable mold holder device for the exchange of the mold according to the needs. Documents D1 and D2, belonging to the same applicant for the application under study, are considered to be the closest in the state of the art. In particular, document D1 proposes a mass ejector machine integrated by a feeder container / hopper, inside which are the ejector rollers and the actuator pump. The set is implemented with side closing levers, for access to the inside, two side handles to facilitate the manipulation of the machine, closing lever in the exit area and control knobs located in the upper part of the housing . The overall approach and configuration of this machine largely coincides with that made in the request for examination, however, document D1 lacks an automatic cutting system driven by drive motor (set forth in claim 1). Document D2 presents a machine for the production of fritters and batons, whose expulsion system is by means of a spindle, the motor being fixed on a hinge arm to facilitate the release and disassembly of the transmission mechanism. The machine is subject to a mobile support that allows its displacement in height and rotation of 360º, being implemented in its lower part by a cutter of the mass that leaves the hopper. This document could provide the cutter device (paragraph 4, lines 31-32), which document D1 lacks, to arrive at what is stated in the first claim of the application, however, despite the fact that the request is not provided many details about said cutting device, it seems that the complexity, operation and configuration of both provides sufficient differential elements. It follows that the application, as set forth in claims 1-8 and based on the cited documents, meets the requirements of novelty (Art. 6.1 LP 11/1986) and inventive activity (Art. 8.1 LP 11 / 1986).
